As I see it, the problem here is that cool, useful extensions aren't being
really exposed to most OOo/LibO users. We should definitely expose these
extensions more: advertise them on the LibO website, maybe redesign the
Extension website and manager to be more friendly and showcase the most
popular extensions.

There are a lot of really great extensions, way more than we could possibly
hope to package with LibreOffice. If people aren't hearing about them, then
we need to make these extensions discoverable. (Personally, when I started
using OOo, it took me a while to find where I could get the language packs I
needed.)

P. S. I'm not against including extensions with LibreOffice, but these
extensions would definitely need to be removable.
